The problem with running a Hall of Fame-related website is that many of the big ones we cover all have announcements within months of each other.  The backbone of what we do is list-related, resulting in a long push to revise what we already have, specifically now with our Football and Basketball Lists.

At present, we have a minor update as we have completed the seventh ten of the 2024 Basketball List, which you can comment on and vote on:

The new 61 to 70:

61. Dale Ellis
62. Randy Smith
63. Michael Finley
64. Rod Strickland
65. Jermaine O’Neal
66. Terry Porter
67. Danny Ainge
68. Antawn Jamison
69. Sidney Wicks
70. Jeff Mullins

Rankings are impacted annually based on your comments and votes.

Thank you all for your patience. We will soon unveil more changes to the football and basketball lists.

Ainge actually played for the Toronto Blue Jays before he was drafted by the Boston Celtics, who chose him 31^st Overall in 1981 and after a rocky start, he would find his role in professional basketball as a pesky agitator and occasional scorer.  Ainge would help Boston win two titles (1984 & 1986) and was a bit of a surprise as an All-Star in 1988.  The Guard would average 11.3 Points per Game over the seven and a half seasons he played for Boston.

Danny Ainge is one of those guys who depending on whom you talk to is either one of the most overrated players of all time or one of the least appreciated.  He definitely was not the most popular, but boy could he play.  He became a household name when he led BYU to an upset of Notre Dame in the NCAA tournament on a memorable full court drive in 1981; the same year he won the Wooden Award as national player of the year.
